"DuPont™ Solamet® metallization paste for MWT technology has good resistance, durability, and is compatible with Canadian Solar's cell manufacturing process. When compared with N-type cell structures, the manufacturing process for ELPS technology is easy to ramp-up and is cost-effective," said Zhang Lingjun, technical vice president -- Canadian Solar. "The ELPS cells and modules will first be showcased from June 8 to 10 at the Canadian Solar booth (Hall A1.280) during 2011 Intersolar in Munich, Germany."
"DuPont has accelerated the development of higher efficiency Solamet® metallization paste technology in part through key collaborations, and the results have been exceptional," said Peter Brenner, global marketing manager, photovoltaics - DuPont Microcircuit Materials. "To advance MWT efficiency, we initiated programs with photovoltaic industry leaders such as Green Energy & Environmental Research Laboratories and Industrial Technology Research Institute of Taiwan (ITRI) - boosting module efficiency up to 1.6 percent, and we continue to improve formulations to benefit our customers. We're quite honored that Solamet® has enabled Canadian Solar to achieve this level of efficiency with its ELPS solar cell technology."
Several new Solamet® brand photovoltaic metallization products have been introduced this year to increase solar efficiency and to reduce overall system cost. New product introductions in 2011 have included Solamet® PV17A high-efficiency frontside silver, Solamet® PV361 and PV362 for local back surface field designs and Solamet® PV701 for MWT solar cell technology. DuPont Microcircuit Materials also is accelerating the development of breakthrough Solamet® technologies designed to reduce the industry's dependence on silver metals.

Featured Product

The most compact versatile rail-less PV mounting system under the sun. Instead of placing solar panels on top of long rails, simply attach E Mount AIR to rafters or the roof decking. Once panels are fastened to the roof, the system array is electrically bonded. The result is a visually seamless PV installation that stands the test of time. - Truly "One With The Roof". - PE stamped cert. letters available, UL 2703 Classified, ASTM 2140 fully waterproof.
The one and only with integrated flexible flashing certified by the ICC!
All the best quality. Only from Roof Tech
